The TBA gives you a chance to network with other attorneys so when you need advice on a case or a referral, you know who to call.

"Anyone who is serious about practicing law in Topeka should be a member of the Topeka Bar Association. TBA members are engaged in the community and committed to the integrity of the profession. No doubt, TBA members are the leaders of the Topeka legal community.

The TBA offers its members a myriad of diverse opportunities. There are a variety of TBA committees that provide educational and networking options for lawyers of all ages and backgrounds. TBA committees have the eyes and ears of both the Kansas legislature and the state judiciary thereby allowing input in the creation of state law and court rules. The TBA also offers affordable continuing education hours in a wide variety of topics. Shucks, some of them are even fun. Speaking of fun - being a member of the TBA is just plain fun. Social activities are assorted and varied. Some are sophisticated and refined. Many others are not. There is something for everybody. Having been a TBA member since 1993, I can honestly say that every TBA function includes moments of levity. From the Annual Holiday Party to lighthearted golf tournaments to the traditional Thanksgiving Turkey shoot, TBA social functions are always a blast.

Taking the legal profession seriously, and having while doing it, is a personal goal of mine. The TBA helps me do that."
